Atsu will not be available for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace because of an illness.

ANALYSISAtsu's absence hurts Newcastle's attacking depth, though it's not a major hit given that his playing time is very inconsistent, with just two Premier League starts since September. His next opportunity to play will come Feb. 29 against Burnley.

Leicester City have scored multiple goals in each of their last nine Premier League matches, and a home game against Norwich City has Jamie Vardy and James Maddison high in our weekly positional rankings.
